Such a concept can only come from an extrinsic source, something outside of the human experience, ergo the possibility of "God.") Perhaps someone sometime will provide some reasonable answers to this conundrum. No one has yet, to my satisfaction. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access And what answers would be adequate? Many want proof, but dont know what the proof should be. BOfL What I was hoping to do was to point out what seems to me to be a bit of an irony - a contradiction of dogmas of those that are wholesale subscribers to global warming alarmism and also adopt a stoic, clinical definition of evolution and death. It's difficult for me to imagine how the conflict of those perspectives can be reconciled. I'm more than willing to be enlightened if for some reason I'm confused in comprehending those perspectives. Some things can be changed by human beings and some things can't. If global warming is caused by human beings then presumably we can stop it as well. If global warming is likely to lead to consequences we don't want then we may want to stop it. Also we seem to have the means to stop it or alleviate it, by reducing co2 output, and maybe other techniques. So if we can and want to stop it why not? Its the same principle we apply to everything, for instance if you are uncomfortable, and you can change that, then why not? If you can forsee that leaving a pan on the stove is going to burn what you are cooking then turn down the heat or take it off the cooker? |
